These drones, costing around 7 lakh rupees, will help monitor the highway, especially during the night when most of the crimes take place.
The drones will be able to capture images of criminals using thermal imaging, even in the dark.
The drones will be connected to the police control room, allowing officers to keep track of activities up to a 2-kilometer range.
